We attended a dinner that included many of our state representatives. In attendance was the governor, lieutenant governor, several congressmen, plus local commissioners. It was the typical meet-and-greet, speeches, nice dinner and a silent auction to raise money for a local charity. In 40 years of growing up in a highly populated state, I never got anywhere near politicians at this level. Here however, I could have a conversation with every one of them and personally thank them for their service as well as express my opinions (not that I have any of those).
